Allowance Increases. Allowances will continue to be increased in accordance with modern award variations, minimum wage increases or the appropriate mechanism that is in place. In the absence of such mechanism, it is agreed that the CPI figure for the March quarter preceding the 1st of July increase each year shall be used to vary the applicable allowances. Allowances will not be varied by this method to the point that they exceed the annual Agreement wage increase for that 12 month period. Should a mechanism be introduced during the life of this Agreement, this mechanism will prevail and any increases will be off-set against the CPI adjusted figure.
